Więcej o książce
Martin Munkacsi, a celebrated fashion photographer born in Hungary in 1896, made significant contributions to photography during his time in Berlin in the 1920s and 1930s before immigrating to New York City in 1934. As one of the highest-paid photographers of his era, he profoundly influenced contemporaries like Richard Avedon. Despite his impact, Munkacsi's work fell out of favor by the time of his death in 1963. Recently, he has gained recognition as a pivotal figure in 20th-century photography, credited with shaping modern photojournalism by merging factual accuracy with a formal aesthetic. A key proponent of the 'Neues Sehen' (New Way of Seeing), Munkacsi's groundbreaking fashion and sports photography remains unmatched. Much of his work has been scattered and lost over the years, though the Ullstein Archive in Berlin houses a significant collection from his time in Hungary and Germany. This compilation assembles Munkacsi's images like never before, showcasing photographs from various artistic phases, including many that have not been seen since their original magazine publications. Featuring 318 tritones, it provides a valuable glimpse into the complex beginnings of photography during a transformative era.
